Statistics-wise, Luther Head has been doing pretty well for himself in a 6th man role. I picked him up in a few of my leagues where I was lacking a bit in three pointers. I’m usually wary about picking up non-starters, but Van Gundy has been playing him a decent number of minutes every night, and his statistics in those minutes have been very good.

Now Tracy McGrady is out indefinitely with the bad back that I knew was coming. (If you’ll look back at some of my old posts, you’ll see. I have proof!)

Luther Head was named to the starting lineup in his absense, which, if history proves any type of indicator, stands to be substantial. A month or two, most likely.

With increased minutes, his statistics are bound to improve over the already decent ones that he has been getting in a reserve role.

If Luther Head were a stock, I’d be yelling…
